AGENT'S NOTE
An extremely rare opportunity to purchase a non-estate detached bungalow, understood to be built in the 1930's, standing in a large mature plot and with the added feature of a large area of additional woodland to the rear, which together with the existing generous garden equates to a total plot of about 1 acre (subject to survey).

It is felt that the bungalow offers potential to either be refurbished and updated, extended or even fully re-developed, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Such is the rarity of this type of opportunity and the potential on offer, we strongly recommend viewing at the earliest convenience.
